His TV credits include “A Question of Honor,” the documentary “Once Upon A Time…Is Now: The Story of Princess Grace” and General Electric Theater TV adaptations of his own short stories, “Memory in White” and “The Legend That Walks Like a Man.”

Schulberg’s first novel, “What Makes Sammy Run?,” won the National Critics Award for best first novel. His other works include “Some Faces in the Crowd,” “Ringside: A Treasury of Boxing Reportage,” his autobiography “Moving Pictures: Memories of a Hollywood Prince” and novels including “The Harder They Fall” and “The Disenchanted.”
